Review: Livity Sound has come a long way since surfacing as something like white label for Peverelist, Kowton and Asusu's music - the latter's "Sister" a bonafide gem! Over the years it has expanded its roster to the point of becoming a landmark within UK bass music - especially that of Bristol! If you wanted to catch up with what that sound actually is, still fresh as f*** in 2021 - Molten Mirrors: A Decade Of Livity Sound is your port of call. For the first of two parts, it's Batu in the mix with a feel-good yet grubby, junkyard industrial banger "Melts Into Air" which sits nicely next to the abstracted beats of Two Shiel's "Big Style". With deeper mysticisms comes Azu Tiwaline's slower "Nissa" next to the faster polyrhythms of Forest Drive West's "Lost Signal", with Facta, Al Wooton and Cando spreading some hypercolor synths and high fidelity beats in their sessions. And check out the leftfield selection of warped, jazzy breakdowns by DJ Plead that makes for a perfect segue into Bakongo's "Ashy".

Review: Next up from Le Chatroom, we see them unveil a selection of party-starting anthems as Cando touches down for a very vibrant four track selection. We begin our dive into this one with a look at the carnival-inspired flavours of the title track 'Clutch', which combines a shuffling selection of pounding drum textures, topped off by whistling synths and unpredictable layers of metallic percussion. As if this wasn't good enough, we then also get a very tasty sounding refix from the one and only Bakongo, who strips the track back for an even more rhythmic approach, doused in powerful subby energy. From here we then move into the drum mix of '14U', a hypnotic combination of gorgeous rhythmic mastery and ethereal harmonic structure, sending the listeners' ears left right and centre. Finally, the retro-sounding synth waves and eerie melodic twists of 'Ambivalence' see us through to a perfect finale, rounding off a very solid body of work!

Review: Originally designed as a series to run concurrently with the Livity Sound label as an outlet that shares its ideas and aesthetics, the Reverse series has evolved into an institution of cutting edge UK dance music in its own right, featuring releases from the likes of Batu, Bruce, Forest Drive West and Hodge. The series returns with the debut of Bristol duo Cando, following in that lineage of purpose built dance floor tracks. Their combination of percussion driven tracks and mystical hooks root them firmly in the city's tradition. From the hypnotic, bass heavy stomp of "Bleak", to the entrancing tribal polyrhythms of "Sundown" - keep your eyes on further material from this pair as they're the ones to watch!
